Events are open to ALL poker players and are freezeouts except the Main Event which carries a €30k GTD and allows a max of 2 bullets (not on same day) and the High Roller which allows 1 re-entry (all events subject to 3% deduction).

It's a fairly late start for the main event day 1s - how many levels are there likely to be?

Can I register for other events on the 27th and 28th and then drop out and get a refund if I progress in the main?

Oh, and when does advance registration open?

Thanks

Apologies I completely missed this -

It's a fairly late start for the main event day 1s - how many levels are there likely to be?Yes the ME starts much later than we are used to, and we are expecting to play 11 or 12 levels, so from 19:00 - 04:00 for example (9 hours including breaks), but overall it fits for the venue with their usual expected playing times and local player base - and, consequently, we are starting other events later each day to compensate with most days not starting until 14:00, with some at 13:00

Can I register for other events on the 27th and 28th and then drop out and get a refund if I progress in the main?]#Yes absolutely

Oh, and when does advance registration open?Eventbrite 'Reserve A Seat' facility should be open later today (13th Feb)...
